Testicular cells of male mice were isolated, and the incorporation of tritium labeled thymidine into the DNA of the cells was estimated after exposure to various chemical mutagens. The normal semiconservative DNA synthesis was suppressed by the addition of hydroxyurea. Thirteen compounds were tested

A study of meiotic and postmeiotic germ-cellstage sensitivity of mule mice to induction of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) by acrylamide showed that DNA repair could be detected in early spermatocytes (after the last scheduled DNA synthesis) through about mid-spermatid stages. N o DNA repair could b
We have evaluated the use of four different positive control compounds for assessing UDS in monkey hepatocytes and have found three of these, methylmethanesulfonate, benzo[a]pyrene, and dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, to produce strong positive responses in vitro. Dimethylnitrosamine induced only weak re
A modified assay for the detection of DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) in human mononucleated white blood cells (MWBCs) based on the nick translation (NT) reaction was developed and combined with the test for unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS). Both assays were performed on disposable 96-well filtration
## Abstract The diagnostic value of detecting AFP with the indirect immunoradioautography (IR) method has been investigated for teratoblastomas of the testis in adult patients. It is shown that the IR method permits an approximately twoβfold increase in the number of serologically diagnosed teratob
